6 d. ago Giant review – Prince Naseem biopic with Pierce Brosnan on hand misses the punch

But, after becoming wealthy, Hamed brattishly turned against Ingle, cutting him out of the action, and turning him into a combination of John Falstaff and Broadway Danny Rose.

3 w. ago I’m just Ken: why is Kenneth Branagh narrating Anthony Hopkins’s memoir?

You might think the audiobook of the acting legend’s autobiography should be read by the acting legend himself. But apparently he wasn’t right for the partIn November, the biggest celebrity memoir of the year will be published. We Did OK, Kid promises to tell the life story of Sir Anthony Hopkins, and anyone with even a passing knowledge of the man will know that it’s a hell of a story. Born working class, he was hauled out of repertory theatre after being spotted by Sir Laurence Olivier, a move that set him on a course to the stars. Sir Richard Attenborough called him “unquestionably the greatest actor of his generation”. He has battled depression and alcoholism. He can do a mean Tommy Cooper impersonation. His publisher promises that Anthony Hopkins will tell this story with “a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable”.That is, unless you listen to it on audiobook. Because Kenneth Branagh’s doing that bit. Continue reading...
